Well I have been asking questions on here about which bike to buy.... went to the dealer.... a Big store! They had tons of everything! Tried out everything I was interested in and a few others that I wasn't interested in, but was having fun so what the Hell....
I decided on the Sportster 883... not the low, not the custom...but the reg. 883.... I am changing the bars to the handle bars that are bent back that come on the sportster custom, Would have just went with the Custom but it was a little lower than the reg. 883 and I didn't like the forward controls....I am used to Dirt bikes... rode them since I was 6 and am too used to the regular controls... I am going to get a different seat so that I have room for one more.... Have a few other mods in mind for down the road, but for now, thats the plan... I wanted the 1200, but I figured I could have it bored out for less than it would cost to get the 1200... if I decide I want more power. Can't wait till its ready!
